Ok,

I have a confession to make. It took me longer to stop with trichotillomania because I was too frugal.

The wrong finger gloves for trichotillomania..

I bought finger gloves for housekeeping and they were a massive pain in the butt… They were dirty fast and I couldn’t type very well because of their structure.

So guess what happened?

I didn’t wear them as much as I should have. I told myself: oh I only have to finish this project. I can do without those irritating finger gloves.

Yes… That didn’t work out at all. So at the end of the day, I would see this pile of hairs.

I finally realized that my finger gloves weren’t fulfilling their task. Preventing me from pulling hair.

The best trichotillomania finger gloves!

So I went back to my computer and researched finger gloves. I stumbled upon gaming finger gloves. These were lightweight and you didn’t feel them when you are behind your computer.

I ordered them at Amazon and the next day I started testing.

Yes! I could feel the keyboard but I couldn’t feel my hair. It made prevention so much easier and helped me in my healing process.

Moral of the story

Don’t be too frugal when it comes to stopping trichotillomania. Make sure you have the right tools to prevent you from pulling.

Whether it’s finger gloves, knowledge by therapists (or my course if you want someone that actually had trich), or medicine if you really need that (only advisable if you suffer from heavy anxiety and depression. Always consult a doctor about those kinds of solutions).

Trichotillomania is a slow but certain killer of your self-esteem. Reserve a budget for getting rid of it. It won’t go away if you don’t take action.

 Little helpers like finger gloves can make your healing journey easier and faster.

 Have a wonderful rest of your week!

 With love,
